Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A liquid soap dispensing system includes a housing and a discharge mechanism for dispensing repeated doses of liquid soap from an associated cartridge. A receptacle is positioned in the cartridge wall forming an air path between the inside and outside of the cartridge and a plastic, filter is frictionally disposed within the receptacle for permitting air to flow into the cartridge but preventing soap from flowing out of the cartridge. The filter permits sufficient air flow into the cartridge to limit the vacuum therein to not greater than about 12" upon repeated operation of the discharge mechanism to prevent the cartridge walls from distorting.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 28, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 28, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 28, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
